There is no point trying to save weight with a smaller battery. The roomy battery compartment easily accommodates a six-cell 5,000 mAh LiPo. It employs a 15-inch propeller that stops and folds back to minimize drag and maximize glide performance when the throttle is cut. Power is provided via a 460 Kv brushless electric motor and 70-amp ESC fed by a six-cell LiPo battery. In addition to the primary flight controls, the Fox is equipped with flaps and, like the full-scale Fox, uses fixed landing gear. The Fox is constructed of dense EPO foam. The first thing that jumped out at me as I unpacked the FMS Fox 3000mm Aerobatic EP Glider was that this thing is big! The carbon-fiber wing tube alone measures 56 inches long and the fuselage is longer than my 60cc Corsair! The two-place Fox can withstand up to 9 positive Gs and is currently used in air show flight demonstrations and aerobatic glider training. During its debut in 1993 at the World Aerobatic Glider Championships in the Netherlands, Jerzy Makula flew it to win a gold medal. The full-scale mdm-1 Fox is a fully composite, two-seat aerobatic glider with a 14-meter (46-foot) wingspan. The propeller folds back, greatly reducing drag when the throttle is closed. The clean lines of the Fox are on display during a high-speed pass. Needs some color on the bottom of the wing to improve visibility, especially at a distance.Easily removable canopy allows access to the roomy battery compartment.Huge model with great presence in the air.Constructed of durable, easy-to-repair EPO foam.Ready-to-fly weight: 10 pounds, 4 ounces Flight duration: 20-plus minutes Pluses Radio system: Spektrum DX20 AR636 receiver six 23-gram metal-gear Predator servos Propeller: 15 × 7.5 folding propeller (included) Motor used: 460 Kv brushless electric (included) Power system: 460 Kv electric motor 70-amp ESCĬovering/finish: White foam with water slide decals Wing loading: 20.4 ounces per square foot As seen in the May 2019 issue of Model Aviation.
